“Westbrick” took more shots than Durant in Games 1 and 2 of the 2012 NBA Finals. Scott Brooks, you need your ass kicked. Durant, the NBA’s leading scorer for three consecutive years, has less shot attempts than a ball-chucking two-guard masquerading as a point guard after the first two game of the NBA Finals. And you, Scott Brooks, were COY [Coach of the Year] a couple of years ago. Are you, Coach Brooks, afraid to get into “Westbrick”’s ass? What’s wrong with you, Coach Brooks? Are the inmates, specifically “Westbrick” and Moses Malone, not 2.0, but 0.2 [Perkins], running the asylum and prison? LMAO

Amazing how much the Horford-Smith dynamic resembles a JV version of Durant-Westbrook.
Durant = efficient, quiet, great mid range game, doesn’t complain about shots but needs more of them, high basketball IQ.
Westbrook = inefficient, plays out of position, lethal when driving but doesn’t do it enough, plays with chip on his shoulder, likely better off as “the man” on some other team.

Jamal Crawford is officially an unrestricted free agent. Would he sign a 3-yr $9M deal to return to the Hawks (3rd yr is a mutual option/both sides have to agree for him to stay)? This is where he’s had the most success. Anyone think he will find $5M a year again like he did in Portland. His minutes per game dropped under 30. His FG% was the lowest since his rookie year. He’s never shot worse from 3. 32 yrs old. There are a handful of free agent SG’s available this offseason as well (Mayo, Gordon, Allen, Young, Smith, Fields, L. Williams, Lee, Fernandez, etc…).
I would want him back at that price. He fills a definite need as a scorer off the bench. I’m a little afraid about how LD will use him though (give him 20 minutes a night at the PG spot???). If used correctly, he’s a valuable asset.

Big gamble….draft Tony Wroten and sign Jamal Crawford??? Would our bigs quit since they’d have to work so hard on defense??? Could Teague survive the pressure, or would he be constantly looking over his shoulder?
Could you make Wroten an elite defender? He has the skills. Quote from nbadraft.net, “When engaged, displays excellent lateral quickness and ball pressure on defense….reads passing lanes and anticipates very well out of help-side defense.”
I’d be willing to try it. Crawford acts as the mentor to this talented kid that just turned 19 yrs old. Hawks would have 4 guards with PG-level handles in Teague, Joe, Jamal, and Wroten.

2 missed calls at the end of the game (both against Lebron). Imagine that. He fouled Durant twice on that shot attempt, and he also fouled Westbrook going for that rebound.
Melvin,
Bad Westbrook showed up in the first half. He was 2-10, and some of his shots looked forced. I don’t understand why he doesn’t consistently try and get KD and others going in the first half, because that opens things up even more for him in the second half.
Magic Johnson said that Westbrook’s first half was some of the worst PG play he had had seen in the finals. I don’t think it was as bad as Magic made him out to be, but that is why I am not sold on Westbrook (despite a very good assist:turnover ratio these 2 games).

Brooklyn Nets small forward Gerald Wallace has opted out of the final year of his contract, according to multiple reports.
Wallace had until midnight ET Wednesday to decide on his $9.5 million player option for 2012-13.
Nets Blog
Looking for more information on the Nets? ESPNNewYork.com has you covered. Blog
Wallace now becomes an unrestricted free agent. He had said he wasn’t going to play on a one-year deal.
General manager Billy King said Wallace deserves a multiyear deal and wants to re-sign him.
Wallace, 29, averaged 15.2 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 16 games after being traded to the Nets.
King dealt his team’s first-round pick in the 2012 draft (No. 6) to the Portland Trail Blazers in a highly scrutinized move for Wallace.
Mike Mazzeo is a regular contributor for ESPNNewYork.com.
I say try to get him as their starting SF, bring Jamal back or sign Mayo or Fernandez and pick up a big man.
Tegue/Hinrich/Pargo
JJ/JC or Mayo/W Green
Wallace/Gordon Hayward
Favors/Ivan
Al/Zaza/Collins/Dampier
Wishful thinking though!

From hoopshype;
Brooklyn Nets small forward Gerald Wallace has opted out of the final year of his contract, according to multiple reports. Wallace had until midnight ET Wednesday to decide on his $9.5 million player option for 2012-13..
The Nets gambled and probably lost. They give up the #6 pick for less than one year of Gerald Wallace. This is why I don’t think lottery teams will trade for one year of Josh.
And if Wallace signs somewhere else, and the Nets can’t trade for Dwight, I think Deron is gone.
If that happens, would they be interested in JJ? Is there a deal the Hawks could make with them?

“Would he sign a 3-yr $9M deal to return to the Hawks”
JJ, I don’t think I would cross that path again. JC1 isn’t changing or isn’t better than he was when he left here.
I would go see if I could grab a James Jones from the Heat for a 2nd rounder….1.5M and he will do as much as JC1 would do for us.
Plus, Sund or his protege won’t be paying over the vet min to bring guys in. The money isn’t there while our 3 captains are here. That has to be addressed first if it even will be.
Improve the starting lineup with 1 or 2 changes, or we will be dangling on the brink of 1st round elimination once again.

KevinM…(IMO) this team needs skilled ball-handlers. Pargo and Hinrich both struggled at times either bringing the ball up the floor or getting where they needed to on the court. James Jones can’t help us there, but he can help us as a pure shooter off the bench.
Current salary situation is $62M committed to 6 players plus our 23rd pick. Adding Jamal at $3M, leaves roughly $5M for 5 players (to hit the minimum of 13 players). 2nd rd picks & veteran minimum players are cap hits of less than $1MM (Ivan’s qualifying offer in $900,000, I think). Any other flexibility would have to come from a trade or trades.
Finding 6′5″ SG’s with long arms that can handle PG duties IN SHORT STRETCHES (that’s for you LD) are hard to find. There are several 6′2″ guys that do the same thing, but those guys generally have trouble getting their shot off in the playoffs. I would welcome Jamal back in the right role (10 minutes a half as primary scorer off the bench & mentor to Tony Wroten).

“Would he sign a 3-yr $9M deal to return to the Hawks (3rd yr is a mutual option/both sides have to agree for him to stay)? ”
3 years is a very long time to sign Jamal at his age. I wouldn’t give him more than a one year deal with a second-year option, kind of like the one he just had with Portland. He would be 35 at the end of that deal.

o’b agreed. this is something that got denied from muy iphone earlier:
yup melvin the refs had to head to the hospital to have the whisyles extracted from their gut. reverse that to josh on quuen say or zaza on kg then the whisle would have been blown. not saying the thunder should have won but durant should have been at the line like queen was to do his own attempt at being mr clutch. there were again two misses on one play with queen hacking his arm and then using his arm to push durant away from the basket.
the other tragic call was first half with okc roaring back to have the goal tend call on two legit blocks being down 8 at time from a 17 point deficit to then get miami startted on a 9 point run.
stern reacted to rome badly because so many see the fix is so easy in this game. it boils down to incompetence or fixes.
speaking of fixes as much a thing as gmjeje and dawgnole made over my probs with the iphone i still suspect them as putting a hex on any post i try to make from it.

Was Vanderbilt good last season? It looks like they have 3 or 4 players that will likely go in the first 40 or so picks in the draft. With that kind of talent, they should have had a really good squad, but I only remember hearing about Kentucky & Florida in the SEC last year (although I don’t pay too much attention to college ball).
